Chapter 1
Start your next chapter here!
For almost 100 years, this building was Kirkwall’s public library. A space for the community to come together, learn, and share experiences!
In creating this space, we’ve drawn inspiration from the building’s founder, 19th century philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. The Old Library is once-again a space for the public to enjoy.
A place for you to work. A hub to meet other like-minded people. And space for you to write your own next chapter!
“Kirkwall’s iconic Old Library has undergone an amazing makeover”
Ethan Flett, The Orcadian
